Nord stage ex compact price?

[spanner]

Hello, i am hoping to replace my roland vr- 760, novation x station and casio xw-p1 with a used stage ex compact.
My plan is to use the stage for organ and synths and midi the keys from my roland rd700 sx for nord piano sounds.
I am having trouble tracking one down in the UK.
Any idea what price for a used stage ex compact 73 would be?
Regards

Hi,

indeed they are not that often for sale. So in the end will depend on the bidders if one pops up in your area.
Generally speaking, and at least in continental Europe), I would say that 1700EUR is a good guess for a NS Compact EX (which is also the price I sold mine for).
(Check the audiofanzine chart comparing buy and sell offers, which has quite good data, but only for France: http://fr.audiofanzine.com/synthe-numer ... argus.html , their estimate is 1704EUR or 1433GBP)

But in the end most difficult part is to find one.
Good luck!!

Wow! That is a high price for a used board. I saw one that sold in june on ebay for around £750 but was not sure if that was normal. I will have to reconsider my options if they sell for e1700.
Thanks for your help

Keep an eye on this to get an idea.

Nord keyboards command a pretty high price, even when second-hand, because there's always a demand for quality, and they're definitely top quality instruments.
If you really want one, then keep looking put a post on the gear for sale section here - hopefully you'll find one in due course, otherwise you'll always be asking yourself "what if..."
